Toilet humour

Jeremy Corbyn is 'standing up the
Queen', 'won't kiss her hand', 'refuses to kneel', 'didn't sing her
song'. All archaic bollocks. The language itself is feudal. 'Privy'
council is taken from the time when the monarch held meetings while
he/she was having a shit. 'Cabinet meetings' were also held in the
toilet. Maybe they still are. That long table may have been
photoshopped. As co-founder of War Child
I was once invited to have tea with the Queen. I wouldn't go and, as
I was the lone republican in the charity, someone took my place. They
returned to the office shocked and had moved slightly closer to my
republicanism because, at that time, War Child was running a bakery in
war-torn Bosnia. When told about this Phillip commented, 'I bet they
steal the bread'. Then when the head of our medical projects said we
also supplied insulin to diabetic children, he jumped in with, 'I bet
they steal that too'. According to The Republicthe annual cost of
the Monarchy is £334 million. The feast that feeds off the people. 'Left Field', which covers my War Child years, has no references to the
Queen. I promise.
